For example its common knowledge amongst experienced kiters that if someone designs a 10m kite specifically to be good at a certain style of riding - it does not automatically mean that you can just make a bigger or smaller version and expect it to be its equivalent...
Yeh mitch this is what I was trying to say about the large rebels, but it is said much better above.
Hey Mitch, I picked up an 08 Rebel 14m that was pretty much brand new and I Freaking Love it. Took me a bit to dial it in 'just so' but one its in you will go mental. I have been out in as low as 9knots riding on a 129 twinny (wasn't intentional!) and still managed to stay level on the beach. The reason I love it so much is because it's so useable in a wide wind range as we tend to get big variations here. It may start off blowing 15knots but you'll be having so much fun you don't notice the ass has fallen out the wind and your left with 9 to get home on. As for the slow turning, I have the lines on the rear setting on the kite and alternate between the short and long at the bar. When you've got them shortened up it spins on a dime. If it's turning too slow you must be freaking awesome 
I love the 14 rebel so much I'm off to replace my trusty old airush 10m with a spanking new rebel 10m tomorrow!!!
That will round out my quiver with a 7m (airush) a 10m (rebel) and a 14m (rebel)
For what it's worth I'm 173cm and weigh 75kg's and havn't had to push the 14 past 25knots.
Oh well!
What is it with you guys feeling the need to share that kind of stuff ????
But nice one Robbie
Ha love it. Now everyone can't work out why you get all the local girlies. Word travels.
Mines not that bad yet but it could be due for a blow out lol
